B S Player

[skybird]

Hi
i vebeen using BS Player to playback movies
and by pressing the p key I can make a
capture of that frame

however I just had a movie in there
it was probably 16 x9
the caps I got out were (is it ? ) 4 x3

the pics looked wrong, prob because they
are compressing the format

is there any way to change this ?

I had a look thru options etc but could nt
figure anything out

thaks for any comment

I guess it captures it in the pixel aspect ratio(PAR). I don't know if you can change it to capture it in the display aspect ratio(DAR) but you can easily change the image size in a image editor, resize to to 16:9 resolution like 640x360.

Orig pic out of bs player






changed it to 1024 by 768 but it does nt look right






changed to 1280 by 720 (double what you said )
and that looks about right



there must be some way to make bs player deliver
in the same aspect of the video its playing
its delivering 16x9 frames into a 4x3 output
so the pics are bound to look sqoshed
I can t be going into photo editing with every
single pic I capture !!

Try to capture with Shift+P.
That will capture "What you see".

the control key is at bottom left
above that is a key with an arrow pointing up

I asume that is the shift key

i did that but still the pics are 4 by 3

i ran the same movie through the vlc player
and did some caps the pics came out perfect
in the original 16 by 9 format
